This farmer has cut small trees/scrub brushes down in order to make charcoal. We walked by as he was preparing the sticks.
It was a fun time with the children of the village.
The children had fun following the blanc to see what they were up to :)
Bill, looking back that we didn't forget anyone.
You can't be lonely in a village :)
We met up with Michelor's brother.
It is neat to see how a surgery can eliminate a handicap and give a child a normal life, like Doudeleimy.
Rob walking with some of his new friends :)
We walked past this families' cook shelter.
It was a Victory for Bill :) He was able to see Paulna's family again and make the village children happy!
The children here at Coram Deo like to look at the pictures on the blog of themselves
That's why I take lots :)
Paulna picked up some things at her mother's house and then walked to join us.
Voodoo is a strong presence in this village. This is some sort of offering on the ground to a voodoo spirit..
Saying goodbye to the children of the village.
Paulna rushed back home to pick up something she forgot.
The children were determined to accompany us to the truck.
A well was capped recently for water so that people could use a hand pump.
A child in the community.
Crossing the mud pit :)
Some sort of egret, mud bird :) Wherever there are cows you will see these birds.
Everyone climbed aboard and we headed back home.
We also took a trip up to the Baptist Mission Hospital in Fermathe to visit Pastor Pierre's wife and their new baby. His wife delivered her baby at home but had complications. When Dr. Ed was up in Kenscoff for a medical clinic he took a lot at his wife and told Pastor Pierre to bring her to the hospital. She was hospitalized with a septic infection and eclampsia. This photo is off his tiny 2 week old baby named after my cousin Jeff :)
One of the members of the church helped Pastor Pierre and his wife in the hospital.
Pastor Pierre's wife spent 2 weeks in the hospital, and was discharged last week. This is their 8th child.
After visiting Pastor Pierre we went up to Fort Jacques. It was a quiet day up at the fort. Monday is the best time to go. We were the only visitors there :) This boy was running after this rim.
An elderly man was walking around the base of the fort.
We stopped for awhile to enjoy the cool air and the view. Now Rob and Levi know how dense the population of Port-au-Prince is looking down from the heights of the mountain.
Pinetrees on the mountain top!
Bony enjoyed using Rob's camera to take some pictures. He is an artistic guy.
